How to Use the Metal Weight Calculator
Enter the width, height, and length of a rectangular metal block in millimeters, then select the metal type. The calculator applies the formula: Weight (kg) = W × H × L (mm) × Density (g/cm³) ÷ 1,000,000. Useful in manufacturing, metalworking, and construction for estimating material weight before cutting or ordering. Ten common metals are built in, including carbon steel, stainless steel (304/316), aluminum, copper, brass, lead, titanium, nickel, and zinc.
Frequently Asked Questions
Weight (kg) = Width × Height × Length (mm) × Density (g/cm³) ÷ 1,000,000. Volume in mm³ converts to cm³ by dividing by 1,000, then multiplied by density gives grams, divide by 1,000 for kg.
For practical purposes they are the same. Specific gravity is relative to water (1 g/cm³), so a metal's specific gravity and its density in g/cm³ are numerically equal.
Carbon steel (7.85), SUS304 (7.93), SUS316 (7.98), aluminum (2.70), copper (8.96), brass (8.50), lead (11.34), titanium (4.51), nickel (8.90), zinc (7.14).
